They seem to be pretty good at making sure the military has all the finding they need

I’d be ok with anonymous donations if they were truly anonymous both publicly and to the management of the institution receiving the money.

Maybe this is something that the government could facilitate - pool these resources, then help distribute them where they are needed. Almost like how taxes work.

New Zealand, similar story; my wife has been in hospital 3 times in the last 5 years - twice needing surgery - totalling about 20 days in hospital. The only out of pocket expenses were parking and getting food delivered for me because I’m picky and didn’t want what they had in the cafeteria.

They are in it for the vibes more than the anything

I guess my point is less about the party specifically, are more that your country might not be collapsing quite so quickly if 49% of the population didn’t feel massively disenfranchised every 4 years, and if there were actually incentives for collaboration and compromise between different view points

I vote Green.

Because I live in a country with an actual proportional representation system, so my vote for a minor party still allows the major party that I most closely align with to gain power

have a build environment [set up]

Means that you need to have a C/C++ compiler and typical set of supporting tools installed so you can compile the program. For Debian (which Raspberry Pi OS is based on), the build-essential package will get you most of the way there - you can use the search tools at https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages to find which packages provide the other tools you need

clone the repo

Means download the code using the git tool - run git clone <url>

Molotov cocktail, except is just a dead guy called Molotov holding a jerrycan

If you can’t afford to pay your staff enough for them to want to work for you, then your business has failed - you just haven’t run out of cash yet.

Pay them properly, or admit that you don’t have a viable business model.

Way back when I used to go to the football with dad - kids under 5 could take the train for free, but weren’t allowed in the stadium, so I was 4 on the train, and 5 when we got to the stadium

At a previous employer, I worked with a client who used our platform and had 3rd party API integrations with companies called Skynet (a large logistics company) and InterWeb (a 90s era almost-PaaS that somehow survived the dotcom crash, pivoted into whatever they could find to charge people for, and went bankrupt a while ago).

Somewhere I have screenshots of emails I sent to the Ops team, asking them to “enable Skynet in production” and “turn off the InterWeb”

In the immortal words of Monzy:

I pull out my keyboard / and I pull out my gloc / and I dismount your girl / and I mount slash proc / cos I’ve got your pid / and the bottom line / is you best not front / or its kill dash nine

Even assuming 25% of Twitter users are bots (probably a significant over estimate), and even if half of Twitter’s users quit in the next year, it would still be 150x bigger than mastodon

(Mastodon has ~1m MAUs, compared to ~421m for Twitter)

I’d love to live in a place with workable public transport, but where I live it would add an hour to my commute each way; effectively an extra 10 hours a week at work

One of our cats kept getting out of our old house - took us a couple of weeks to work out that she’d found an access hatch into the subfloor that we didn’t know about in the back of a cupboard and worked out how to lift it up

That’s a pretty weak sauce moustache buddy

Or, idk, the board or shareholders of the major companies built around his cult of personality could decide that having a person quite so toxic and prone to angry outbursts as their CEO doesn’t Enhance Shareholder Value

One of the single greatest things that happened in my lifetime imo. Without the breakup we’d be in a similar situation as the US - crappy service, sky high prices, no incentive to invest in maintenance or upgrades
